Acting Prime Minister Choi Kyung-hwan Wednesday implored the people’s cooperation to wind down the outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), saying the government needs their help.

With 13 new MERS patients announced Wednesday, including 10 who contracted the disease at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, where most third-generation infections occurred, Korea so far has seen 108 cases.

The deaths of Patients No. 76 and 90 were reported, bringing the death toll to nine. Eleven patients are in unstable condition.

But a total of four MERS patients have been discharged from hospital and sent home as they are fully recovered.

The government believes this week will determine whether the outbreak will start petering out or continue to expand. The most important issue at this stage in the outbreak is whether there are any fourth-generation infections. So far, none have been reported.

“To stop the spread of MERS, we need to rely on the world’s finest medical services in this country and, most of all, the trust and cooperation of people,” Choi said. “Since the disease is spreading within medical facilities, it is key to prevent transmission not just within hospitals but between hospitals as well.”

The government also designated 48 hospitals as being dedicated to MERS patients.
